Team lineups added to player xG tool

Team Lineups have been added to the Player xG Model.

  • Lineups will be available 40 minutes – 55 minutes before Kick Off
  • The xG of the starting 20 outfield players will be normalised to equal the team xG (see Screenshot 1 below)
  • A % of the team xG will be allocated to substitutes, this is set by default at 9.5% but can be edited by users (see the field at the top)

  • Team news is not available for every competition (it won’t be available for FA Cup this weekend) but it is available for the EPL, Championship, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, La Liga, Eredivisie, Brazil Serie A, Champions League and Euros.  
  • The AGS price may then differ from the Exchange if the exchange prices are not efficient (the exchange xG may add to more or less than team xG. When this is the case there is an edge for the user). The FGS price (and 2+ and 3+ prices) will adjust accordingly.
  • If a player name cannot be matched BBTeam will try and match it in real time if available – else the team xG will not be normalised (see screenshot 2 below).
  • Players confirmed on the bench will be assigned zero xG and any value will fall off the trackers automatically.
  • To begin with we expect a majority of games to need manual player synonym matching, however over a short period of time these instances will become fewer and fewer.
